Mon, 23 Jul 2012 17:07:00 +0000http://www.slashgear.com/?p=239236#comment-225532How about loosing the credits instead of the additional content. There a very few people that care who the key grip was. Convert the credits to a social bit on the marketing website for the film. So true credit fans can get a real connection with the staff. That might even make me interested. Just pop a url in at the end that says “Go to blah. blah .com and connect with the cast and crew to learn more about the film. Then you could follow interesting people on twitter and such and see what else they have made and what is coming next from them.

For people who aren’t interested it’s like being forced to read all the name tags of the pimp faced teenagers that made your McDonald’s cheeseburger.

Turn it into a real marketing opportunity, you have just primed an audience for two hours and you would rather make them read names than throw in a call to action? That’s a bit insane.

Why are clickbait tech opinion pieces always on the side of anonymizing the work of creative folks? A film or piece of music is a team effort. Personally, I would like to know who your editor is. Oh wait, it’s the web, everyone edits themselves.

You run the credits on the right, and the bloopers on the left. They did the same stupid shit after the credits in Goon. It’s stupid, it needs to stop.Don’t even get me started on alt endings. They do that for people that are too stupid to comprehend the movie.

They have been rolling credits long before you came on the scene. Why don’t you buck the trend when you make your film. I doubt you could get anyone to sit through the movie let alone stay seated to see who is responsible.

Thu, 19 Jul 2012 19:08:00 +0000http://www.slashgear.com/?p=239236#comment-224730I agree with you. It’s getting rediculous. It’s fine when there’s outtakes or something inconsequential, but major plot point- like with The Grey- are stupid to put into a stinger. BTW- I liked the movie, but the stinger turns it into something stupid.
But overall, I agree that it’s crappy storytelling. Leave it to nerdy hints about new movies, or to outtakes.

You are very ungrateful for the people that make movies. So just sit down and hush Philip Berne so i can enjoy the movie how its meant to be enjoyed. Thank You

outside talking about the film… relaxed, happy, complaining about the
film mad, sad, angry…. what ever, most people dont know how long the
film is in the first place, so why are you complaining about staying a tiny amount of time…. Its not like you have to be anywhere…. Also its not like its a pivotal part of the story…. Its an EXTRA

Thu, 19 Jul 2012 01:33:00 +0000http://www.slashgear.com/?p=239236#comment-224506I bet the movie theater staff DOES NOT like the stingers. If people leave DURING the credits, they can get the theater ready for the next showing, but those that stay, delay getting it cleaned up. Yeah, it’s only 5-10 minutes, but take a 10-12 hour shift that the theater is open, it adds up.

Wed, 18 Jul 2012 22:50:00 +0000http://www.slashgear.com/?p=239236#comment-224464Yes! Thank you so much for saying this. I don’t want to sit through the endless credits on the chance that there will be a stinger. When it’s not there, I feel cheated for wasting my time. When it is there, it’s not much of a payoff. Make a good movie, and be done with it.

Remember back in the day when the credits were at the BEGINNING of a film? There was a big intro musical number while pasteboards of all the who’s and what’s of a film appeared…. How’d you like those at the beginning of a movie now? Not so much fun, right? Leave the “Stingers” alone… they’re fabulous!
